Footage has been released of the terrifying moment a Jackass star was bitten by a shark.
For years many have argued that the crew behind reality tv show Jackass tend to take things too far, and unfortunately its been proved true in their latest attempt to push the envelope.
While filming a stunt called 'Jumo The Shark' for Discovery's 'Shark Week', Jackass star Sean McInerney - aka Poopies - attempted to wakeboard over shark-infested waters.
Failing to stick the landing, Poopies fell of his board and into the water. One of the several circling sharks managed to get a hold of McInerney's hand taking a large chunk of flesh out of it.
Thankfully, a medical crew was onboard the boat and treated the deep bite.
Poopies doesn't blame the sharks for attacking.
“I definitely got a degree in shark college there. 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.”
His Jackass co-star, Chris Pontius, added “It’s a reminder that yeah, like, we are pushing it pretty hard. And this could happen, of course.”

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson couldn’t work out on the weekend because of an encounter with a hawk and copperhead snake at his door and has shared the video to his 253 million Instagram followers.
"It’s either this hawk’s Copperhead snake 🐍🦅 or my weekend workout 💪🏾,” he wrote.
The one-minute and nine-second video taken by The Rock himself shows the hawk perched on a podium in front of his kitchen door, preying on a copperhead snake.
He explains he tried to scare the hawk away by opening the door but it made the hawk angrier. He said in the post:
"I tried to open the door with some firm DJ energy and instead of flying away, he got p***** and hasn’t stopped ka kaw’ng me since 🤣 Clearly, we both have a few things in common 😈💀 but he’s gotta eat and I gotta train….”
In the video he says that it's the only way to get to the gym: "The problem is, I gotta go to the gym. I have to walk down the stairs to get to the gym, that’s the only way."
He tells his viewers to wish him luck and says, "So it’s either my workout or his snake. Wish me luck, if y’all don’t hear from me in a few hours you know I got my a** kicked by a hawk."
Amazed by what he's witnessed, he writes, "(for the record, seeing a hawk in their hunting/kill/eat mode up close and personal is amazing. Hawks are deceptively massive, impressive and a very powerful mana 👏🏾👏🏾)"

British billionaire, Richard Branson, has officially been to space aboard his own rocket ship.
Sir Richard Branson hailed the "experience of a lifetime" after flying to the edge of space and back aboard Virgin Galactic's first fully crewed flight.
I have dreamt about this moment since I was a child, but going to space was more magical than I ever imagined https://t.co/Wyzj0nOBgX #Unity22 @virgingalactic pic.twitter.com/grs7vHAzca

I was once a child with a dream looking up to the stars. Now I'm an adult in a spaceship looking down to our beautiful Earth. To the next generation of dreamers: if we can do this, just imagine what you can do https://t.co/Wyzj0nOBgX #Unity22 @virgingalactic pic.twitter.com/03EJmKiH8V

The billionaire businessman smiled as he headed back to the planet surface after feeling the thrill of weightlessness for several minutes on Sunday afternoon.
The launch was hailed a "landmark moment" for the billionaire businessman, as well as the whole commercial space industry.
Take-off had been delayed by about 90 minutes on Sunday due to the weather overnight at Spaceport America in New Mexico, in the US.
But video streamed live online showed the spacecraft being carried up into the atmosphere by its mothership before being released so it could power up to highs of 250,000 feet.

Sir Richard and his crew reached speeds of Mach 3 on their way to the edge of space.
After a short spell during which they experienced weightlessness, the craft then pointed downwards and made its way back to the ground.
On the return flight, Sir Richard hailed the "experience of a lifetime" and the "hard, hard work" that went into the flight.
Out on the runway, he was greeted with cheers and hugs as he walked back to the spaceport.
Later, he told a press conference: "Like most kids I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly nothing could prepare you for the view of Earth from space.
"The whole thing was just magical."
He also paid tribute to scientist Stephen Hawking, who he said it was an "honour" to know.
Sir Richard is the first owner-astronaut to take part in a mission, beating Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who plans to reach space in his own rocket through his Blue Origin company.
On the ground, Michael Colglazier, chief executive of Virgin Galactic, said: "This is a landmark moment for Virgin Galactic.
"It's a landmark moment for the new commercial space industry and it certainly is a landmark moment for our founder Richard Branson."
He said the company's work on Sunday was dedicated to "opening up space to all".
Tourists are expected to pay $A334,000 for a spaceflight on Virgin Galactic, which includes four minutes of zero gravity.
