The correct response is: Yes, it would hurt because the bricks would still have the same mass.
On the Moon, while the weight of an object is less due to the lower gravitational pull (about 1/6th that of Earth), its mass remains the same. Therefore, if you were hit by a ton of bricks on the Moon, it would still be a significant amount of mass and could indeed cause injury.
