The Jackass crew had pushed the stunt a step further after McInerney successfully wakeboarded over the sharks. He was then launched from a ramp but failed to make the landing.

McInerney, known as “Poopies”, said: “I definitely got a degree in shark college there.”
He added: “I knew there was a chance I was going to get bit by a shark, but I didn’t think it was going to happen.
“I don’t blame the sharks at all. I mean, I was in their living room, and it was dinnertime.”
Jackass star Chris Pontius added: “It’s a reminder that yeah, like, we are pushing it pretty hard. And this could happen, of course.”
