The correct response is:

Yes, it would hurt because the bricks would still have the same mass.

On the moon, while the weight of the bricks would be less due to the lower gravitational force, the mass remains the same. A ton of bricks has significant mass and, if dropped on someone, would still cause harm regardless of the reduced weight on the moon.
