Pictures show McInerney suffered a deep bite to this hand, and artery and tendon damage, after he was treated an onsite medical team.
Jackass star Steve-O said: "He would be f**king dead if they didn’t dive on him as fast as they did.
"Jesus, he got wrecked by a shark...for a Shark Week episode."
The Jackass crew had pushed the stunt a step further after McInerney successfuly 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."
