Don't worry about the fork. You will get some free coins to increase your bitcoin holdings.
He can sure worry about his bitcoin if it is not secured in a private key wallet because there is not an assurance if your coins are really safe in just an open wallet like web wallet, you can surely gain free coins but your Bitcoin will not be sure to be safe if it just sits in a web wallet, I think providing OP a little bit information about this will surely take away his fear and doubt over the impending Hard Fork.
