Who Is Sean 'Poopies' McInerney? Get To Know The 'Jackass 4' Star Gruesomely Attacked By A Shark In 5 Snaps
Daredevil Sean “Poopies” McInerney is on the mend after suffering a horrific attack by a shark in a stunt gone wrong for Shark Week.
Each year, Discovery Channel descends on the open waters and focuses an entire week airing content surrounding the ocean’s most formidable predator. This year, the Jackass scoundrels decided to partake in on the fun, and McInerney nearly lost a hand in the process.
In a clip, the adrenaline junkie can be seen wiping out in the shark-infested water after trying to leap from a ramp. After the star lands in the water, a shark is seen darting in his direction and bites McInerney’s hand, prompting fear from onlookers.
“I need my medical bag, now!” a voice off-camera is heard screaming as rescuers dived into the water to save him. See the graphic footage, here.
As he received medical treatment in the background, costar Chris Pontius told the camera, “It’s a reminder that yeah, like, we are pushing it pretty hard. And this could happen, of course. It’s either, like, everything’s okay or this happens. And hopefully it’s always everything’s okay, everything’s okay. But then… you know, this time it’s not okay.”
Jackass mastermind Steve-O posted a gory snap of his pals' injuries via Instagram over the weekend, showing McInerney’s wound after surgery. The star had stitches across his hand and visible damage to his skin.
McInerney doesn't hold a grudge against the sharks though, noting in the episode, "I was in their living room, and it was dinner time."
