^An inverted roller coaster's trains are inverted below the track and are fixed in place, preventing any swinging motion on turns (reference Flying Ace Areial Chase, Invertigo, and Banshee).

A suspended roller coaster is similar, except the trains are not fixed in place and therefore have the capability of swinging on turns. A suspended roller coaster could have inversions and still be a suspended roller coaster, there just haven't been any that do.

I've got a hunch someone's going to ask, so I'll go ahead and say it:

Vekoma named their inverted coasters "Suspended Looping Coasters". Enthusiasts typically abbreviate this model name as SLC. An example of a Vekoma SLC is T2 (soon to be T3) at Kentucky Kingdom. SLCs are not truly suspended coasters in the general sense described here. They are inverted coasters. And they are here to destroy your ears.
