If you were standing "in the way" of the Moon's orbit, you would be struck at a speed of over 2,200 mph (about 1 km/s). The Moon has a diameter of roughly 2,160 miles (3,476 km), this would be an instantaneous, catastrophic impact, resulting in immediate death. | Poal: Say what you want.

But one could not be standing “still” and have the moon hit you.

It's technically possible, but not advisable.
