Interesting. I know Rapterra came out with a 48' height requirement, which was unusual because of the original 52' height requirement for all coasters with Vest Restraints. Holiday World was then notified by B&M that they could lower the height requirement from 52' to 48'. I'll be curious to see if any other Vest Restraint coasters get lowered (Banshee, Valravn, GateKeeper, etc.) Here's the Screamscape article:

Banshee's ain't going to change it's height requirement, it's too forceful to do that.

Vortex was more forceful than Banshee and it was only 48".  It's more about ride restraint and seat design.

Iron Gwazi has one of the most negative G moments and it's a 48' height requirement. Like you said, it is entirely on how the restraints are. That's why I was mentioning if it would change other Vest Restraint rides.
