The risk of a heart attack during a skydiving is the same as it would be during any other high adrenaline experience. If considering skydiving with a heart condition that could lead to a heart attack, consult your doctor to make sure you are physically fit for skydiving and inform the instructors at the drop zone you are going to.

Why would another wise healthy girl have a heart rate of 102 while resting?

People who are less active tend to have higher heart rates than more athletic people. Your heart rate is controlled by electrical impulses controlled by the brain. In some folks the "wiring" needs to be adjusted through medication or ablation therapy. Your doctor can order an EKG and tell you if that is the problem or make recommendations to get your heart beat under control.
