Any number of things can go wrong during a presentation, and often do.

If something should go wrong then it is important not to panic. Apologise to the audience and try and make the best of it, you could even joke with them about it if you feel that it would be well received.

If you understand your presentation well enough then your message still should come across and you will be able to recover. Part of giving a presentation is the ability to think on your feet and adapt, this is not just when something goes wrong but this is also in how you answer any questions put to you by your audience.
