Nope, wouldn't trust a Dynabolt through a 4-6" slab. To add to my worries of doing something like that, I live in earthquake country.

But regardless, I would do it the way I described no matter where I lived.
Some engineers here might be able to explain a "hinge point" or "overturn" better than I could, but I'm sure you get the idea.
