Let me reassure you : even though Bitcoin Unlimited neared 50% at some moment, they are now far from being the majority. The fork is becoming each day that passes less risky.
I don't see how near 50% is "far from majority".
Also the timing of the fork is controlled by BU, they don't have to fork until they have something like 75% majority. Then they can get guaranteed fork success.
they have only 36% now, they never had 50% if they had it was when the consensus was at 95%, even if they fork, BU will be preserved and your coins ar enot lost, you can use both coins on both chain
