Yes, but D.B. Cooper opened the door in the tail of an airplane.(I am sure someone here can cite the mfg and model, if not the actual aircraft number!) Those doors are been disabled on that model of plane...and IIFC on all tail section doors. At a rear facing door it would make sense that outside airpressure from forward motion would not be an issue. But then again, I am not an engineer, pilot, or skydiver. I did though live a few years with a retired US Army Airborne colonel.
