If you suddenly started shaking hard on climb-out, you might have hit wake turbulence (flying through the air disturbed by the passage of the aircraft in front of you). Separation of aircraft is meant to manage this, but it still sometimes occurs.

I've certainly had overhead lockers also fly open - if they are anywhere within reach, those I stand up and close again.
