Once, upon returning to the college to process in the darkroom, I was waiting my turn in line when the door on the Spottie popped open of its own accord and the (rewound) cassette flew out at warp ten. These cassettes were re-usable and loaded from a bulk loader by the lab tech every day. They were old and tired (the cassettesm not the lab techs). As soon as it hit the floor, both ends of the cassette parted company with the main body and the film was thoughtfully exposed to ambient light for the second or two it took for me to rugby-tackle it to the floor.
That happened to me, the first time I took photos for a friend's wedding. As it was C22 colour film, the effect was probably unnoticeable after a decade or two.
