If he does it, it will cause 'Flashpoint', where all the even of the earth is different including all DC comic characters. It's hard to explain, google it. It's a comics where the current events have changed because Barry saved his mother. I'm pretty sure saving his dad won't cause massive destruction to the timeline.

Remember, the reason why Barry didn't save his mom is because that is the reason he became the Flash.

What would rescuing Henry do?
