That happened to me last summer. Very irritating. You can read about ways to get it open here:

I was wondering if it is dangerous to keep the hood latch up while driving under 30 mphs to have kind of a ram air thing goin on?

As light as the hood is, I would not reccomend doing that.

I believe I have another one, but I *probably* wouldn't be able to get it out until next monday--PM me an offer if you need it--I'm pretty reasonable.

I have a reply in the thread below on what I did when the same thing happened. It actually isn't that hard:
