I actually know a 147 owner who had this problem almost two years ago. The bonnet opened while he was driving on the motorway at (luckely, only) 80 km/h.
I don't have to tell how nasty this could have ended. In his case he didn't hit anybody else, and the only damage was to his own car: bonnet catch (duh) bonnet, windshield and roof. The car was 1 year old and due to the damage at the roof it was almost a complete write off.
I used to have pictures, but I lost them
