XJSaab hasn't answered with enough detail to clear this up for folks who don't fly the CRJ.
ok,
no,
no,
it will not be held shut, it opens downwards and the latches require you to push the door in, and then push down separate locks..the door would most likely flutter until it rips off and either smacks into the side of the airplane, or falls and hits a robber in the head just as he steps out of the bank he just robbed. Instantly making the pilots heroes.
