The worst thing that may happen is saying, I don't know. The participant will lose interest in listening to you if you cannot answer their queries while having the presentation with them. It also happens in product presentations. If the salesman does not know his or her product features, how are the buyers going to buy them? It means we need to always be ready when it comes to the presentation.
What would be the worst thing you could possibly say or do in a presentation?

That's right I agree with you. With someone saying "I don't know" then he will be less able to convince the audience to believe him. The words I don't know maybe can be replaced with other words that show that we are trying to make a positive effort.
The worst thing that can ever happen to me during a presentation is my system suddenly clearing all the slides I have prepared and I can't recover it. It is a tough situation to be.
Before making a presentation, of course you have studied all the material needed, especially if we have to present to investors, we must know all the ins and outs of the company, and in general a presenter will equip himself with important company records such as financial statements, investment contract agreements and so on. so it's very fatal if they say I don't understand or I don't know.
I have been on a presentation and power suddenly goes out at the peak of the presentation and all the screens were down. I felt discouraged a little bit but I had to go on.
Indeed, the worst situation during a presentation is when the presenter is asked a question and s(he) does not know the answer. This will definitely weaken the confidence of the audience in your company and products.
