Risks only for BIP148 nodes
if you are on a UASF node, and the UASF fails, you are at risk for lost funds. that is ONLY a risk for some one on a UASF node.
also this answer:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6bxpsj/bip148_and_the_risks_it_entails_for_you_whether/dhqbrn9/That´s why you should begin removing your bitcoins our of exchanges before August 1st ... just in case of a chain split.
I myself will do this and wait the fork out until I resume my exchange business.
The biggest risk is having 2 different coins. There isn't anything else other than that. To be safe, what you need to do is taking your coins out of where you have them unless they already in your desktop wallet and make sure of that your desktop wallet supports the new chain. Otherwise you may lose the chance of having the new segwit enabled updated bitcoins.
If you are paranoid, just collect all your coins in one place, have your private key in somewhere safe (writing them down works):p, don't make any transactions after 31st July until everything is settled.
