IIRC, the hatches would often fail to open because (I'm guessing) of the vacuum created on the outside of the hatch by the rushing air. I remember hearing of one poor man who fell out of the hatch when he managed to finally get it open. I think it was for Operation Pegasus, and he ended up in the sea.

The British also only jumped with one chute, no reserves.
