"Floating Valves" refers to a condition in which the valve-springs fail to fully close the valves, allowing them to "float" during the stroke cycle. Floating valves can result in valve-piston contact with consequent catastrophic mechanical damage. This is caused by revving the engine past it's red-line, or the maximum RPMs the engine was designed to run.

If you are referring to intake valves on an engine the engineers use two valves to get a larger valve opening with reduced weight so you can achieve higher rpm without valve float. valve float occurs when a engine spins so fast the valve spring can't keep the valve in contact with the lifter or the cam lobe causing the valve to float.
