That's a good question How far could you fall on the moon without hurting yourself Well, the Moon has about 1/6th the gravitational pull of the Earth. So you would accelerate at 1/6th the rate as you would on Earth. So whatever height you consider the "hurting yourself" point on Earth, multiply that by 6 to get your answer for the Moon. How about the rate of acceleration? Might that be faster on the moon with no atmospheric resistance? --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.
