Been thinking about your accident. Most safety catches operate sideways or towards the front. The Vortex safety catch, as fitted on my machine, has a wide flat surface and operates towards the back of the car. Could it be that, when travelling at speed, the pressure of the air acting against safety catch forced it open?

I like the idea of a warning light to show that the bonnet is not closed properly. I thought about an in bonnet light switch which could also double as an alarm if the ignition is live.
