Dwarf-tossing at bars and strip clubs could become illegal in the state of Washington under a new bill sponsored by Senator Mike Padden.

Under Senate Bill 5486, any game or contest that involves the “exploitation that endangers the health, safety and welfare” of a person with dwarfism in adult entertainment venues or places that serve alcohol would be banned.

Dwarf-tossing involves people throwing a person with dwarfism, who are usually paid, onto a mattress or Velcro wall, with the aim to see who can throw them the furthest.

In a statement, Padden explained that he sought for a change in the law after being contacted by one of his constituents, who become aware of a dwarf-tossing contest at a strip club in Spokane last October.
