Diverting due to no insufficient fuel reserves is not just a UA thing.

Last year on ORD-IAD (777) we were put into a hold for IAD and wound up diverting to PIT to refuel.

While this problem can be dangerous, it's not terribly frightening since the flight crew is aware of the problem and can react in enough time. Really the only problem is the inconvenience of a delay.
