The correct response is: Yes, it would hurt because the bricks would still have the same mass.

On the moon, objects weigh less due to reduced gravitational pull, but their mass remains unchanged. A ton of bricks would still have the same mass regardless of location, and if they were to hit someone, they would still cause harm.
